At one time a museum about liberty or freedom would have been considered exclusively for social studies or civics classes. Not today. Our increasingly diverse society has brought the realities of liberty into everyday life, making issues such as tolerance, conflict resolution and violence prevention important subjects in virtually every classroom, at every grade level. Please review the information below and schedule your class tour today. Tours can be tailored with the following themes to meet your curriculum needs.
